Two Stevenson Ranch vandalism suspects were arrested on felony charges after they were allegedly caught tagging, officials said.
On Wednesday, , around 6:30 p.m. deputies responded to a business located on the 25400 block of The Old Road in Stevenson Ranch regarding a vandalism that had just occurred, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
“It was reported that two male Hispanic adults, approximately in their 20s, one wearing a gray shirt and black pants and one wearing a blue basketball jersey with black pants were seen tagging on a dumpster and concrete alongside the business,” Arriaga said.
Deputies conducted a patrol check of the nearby perimeter and located two male adults matching the description of the alleged taggers, according to Arriaga.
“Deputies detained the males and conducted an investigation in which they recovered multiple spray paint cans from their property,” Arriaga said.
Deputies obtained a positive “field show-up” by the witness and arrested Michael Estrada, 30, a transient and Bryan Hernandez, 27, from Newhall on felony vandalism due to the extent of the damage, Arriaga added.
Both suspects were transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station’s jail with bail set at $0, according to arrest records.

Go back to LA, Valley, Bakersfield, Palmdale, Lanc., etc. where it’s wanted—More Liberals live there and condone that along with other aberrant lifestyles!
Picasso, that’s baloney! You know it, but you STILL feel the need to put a political spin on it! You’re a LOSER! The places you list are where YOU belong! Idiot! ?
Hope they throw the book at the tiggers! We don’t stand for vandalism here in SCV!
Arm: You’re frequently more level headed. It’s not political spin, it’s reality! Those who live in Liberal Peter Pan lifestyles through their rosey colored glasses usually think that way, until, they’re a victim! Vandalism is only a starting point! The word tagging is just a euphemism of the downplay/excusing/making light of the beginning of a career criminal, helped by condoning/downplaying of a beginning of a serious lifestyles! Thanks Liberals!
You’re SO full of it! I lived in the Valley and in West LA for years and it’s so great to live in a town where graffiti isn’t tolerated! Still, Picasso feels the need to spin it as a political thing! ? Sorry, pal, but get this! It ISN’T! I used to work for the City of Santa Clarita in graffiti removal myself, and I know this! (Dumb fools like yourself can jaw all you want about it, but almost always, it’s kids that do the deed, and they’re not even politically AWARE!) Your ridiculous conspiracy theories are not even relevant. NOT CREDIBLE at ALL! But I realize that’s all you got! People like you wouldn’t know the TRUTH about ANYTHING if it hit you in the head! So in the end, though it bothers me that idiots like you think this way, there’s nothing to it, and I realize that! Most others do too.
Tagging a dumpster… how proud that must have made them feel. Tagging is the desperate act of those with tiny minds that will never amount to anything worthwhile in their miserable existence.
Kinda reminds me of a few that continue to “tag” this website with their name calling and faux drivel they try passing off as political commentary. (see above post)
(Also see post below)
What words were written on the dumpster?
Do the courts really want these cases?
Idiot kids grow up to be Idiot teenagers that grow up to be Idiot adults!, unless stopped! The tender minded, Pollyanna Liberals keep condoning horrible behavior from their Naive gate guarded community’s and have no idea what really happens on the streets because they’re living in a Peter Pan fantasy! When these young males get older and progress their life of crime and when the husband, wife & daughters get beat up, raped, robbed, etc., they’ll probably make more condoning excuses! What Liberal fools!
You obviously know from personal experience what kind of kid turns out to be an idiot adult! It’s YOU! Cause look at you! You keep talking about yourself! We don’t want to know about you! Just want you to go away! ? Begone! You’re just a sh#t-stirring Troll who wants to spin ridiculous conspiracies toward the left every chance he gets! You’re perpetually angry and mentally lacking. You have NO credibility and should silence yourself as you move out of our town! You are a big part of the problem and none of us need to listen to fools like you!
When I grew up in a southwestern megalopolis long ago, you would see the same message, neatly painted on the occasional piece of public infrastructure, barely big enough to read, in hundreds of places all over town, “Who is John Galt?”. “Jesus Saves” was a close second. “Kilroy was here” is widely credited with starting modern graffiti.
A gang scrawling a mark like FEMA on a flooded house is not the same thing.
Dave R.: Ya, that was the great ole days! When Arn grew up the males in W. LA would slap people & the valley the Demons punch, gang kick in the head, stab, shoot, sodomize, burn, loot, etc.! Different Liberals in W. LA vs the valley/LA!
See, Pablo can’t even compose a sentence that makes sense! Maybe if he actually stayed in school when he was younger instead of actively joining white racist groups he would be a bit more intelligent, but, too late for that! Sadly, there’s no cure for stupid! It is what it is……?
For once, I totally agree with you! What you just said is spot-on! It doesn’t matter what the words are! It IS ghetto, and simply we don’t want it HERE! It’s ugly and unsightly. For the questionable folks who condone this vandalism, or don’t really care if it’s there, you should promptly move the hell outta SCV NOW, as fast as you can, as that mentality is a big reason the rest of us live HERE! To get away from those elements that we can’t stand, and also to raise our kids to live in a clean environment!
